Rabbi: Airport attack was 'right time and place' to result in many Jewish casualties

According to Rabbi Pinchas Kornfeld, a community leader from Antwerp, the explosions that rocked Zaventem airport occurred at the "right time and place to produce many Jewish casualties".

Many Jewish passengers were travelling between Antwerp, which has a large haredi Orthodox community, and New York.

Out of respect for the victims and their loved ones, several Jewish organisations cancelled their Purim holiday parties that were set for tomorrow in Antwerp and Brussels.
